No person, firm or corporation shall grade, construct, install
or erect a drain, culvert, footwalk, drive or driveway, or other means
of ingress or egress, or affecting discharge or passage of drainage
water, onto or along a Township Road of Carroll Township unless and
until the Township of Carroll has granted a permit for such grading,
construction, installation or erection.
Application for such permit shall be made by the owner or occupier;
or by his contractor or agent, in writing, on forms provided by the
Secretary of Carroll Township, and in accordance with such rules and
regulations as may be established by the Township. There shall be
appended to each application a drawing or plan showing the outlines
of the property affected with existing improvements thereon, existing
drains, culverts, footwalks, drives and driveways, with the proposed
drain, culvert, footwalk, drive or driveway proposed to be added,
and the relationship of the foregoing to the Township road, particularly
with relationship to the effect on the drainage of said road.
The costs of filing such application and permit to be issued
thereon and the cost of any inspection deemed necessary by the Supervisors
of Carroll Township shall be determined according to a schedule of
fees which will be adopted by said Supervisors by resolution and all
such fees and costs shall be paid into the Township treasury.
The Board of Supervisors of Carroll Township may alter plans
filed with the application, and specify any changes or modifications
of any kind which it my deem necessary, and make its approval of the
granting of any permits subject to any such alterations, changes,
or modifications.
All grading, construction, installation, and erection shall
be in strict compliance with the plans and specifications on the basis
of which the permit is granted.
Whenever the construction of any new drive or driveway should
require the installation of a tile, drainage pipe, or culvert, the
property owner shall be responsible for furnishing all labor and materials
required for such installation.
